N.B.A. Bulls Top the Sonics

Michael Jordan scored 35 points and Scottie Pippen 29 as the host Chicago Bulls overcame the ejection of Dennis Rodman to defeat the Seattle SuperSonics by 113-87 last night. Jordan also pulled down 14 rebounds -- his high since coming out of retirement last March.

Chicago needed Jordan's work on the boards to go 18-0 at home and run their league-best record to 29-3. Rodman, the Bulls' top rebounder in 18 of his first 19 games, was assessed two technical fouls in the final minute of the third quarter and finished with a season-low seven rebounds.

The Bulls, who lost at Seattle on Nov. 26, have avenged all three of their defeats, and are 13-0 when meeting teams for second time. (AP)
